The Idea
This fireplace had a painted brick that caused it to kind of blend into the wall color a little, and therefore it wasn't standing out, or adding to the feel of the room the way that it so very has the potential to do. The homeowners were wanting to move the mantle so that it would look more balanced, as well as carry the stone all the way up to the ceiling. They decided they wanted to have it refaced with something more appealing, and we worked with them on finding what style and colors they liked. We also worked through the positioning of the mantle with them, and once the design aspects were decided upon, we were able to get this done in just two days. The fireplace really has so much more character while still retaining their sentimental mantle piece.
